Man O'War Dreadnought Syrah

TASTING NOTES

AROMA
On the nose, it’s pure Waiheke: black olive, sea spray, cracked pepper and wild herbs, wrapped around dark cherry, mulberry and blood plum. There’s a savoury, almost ferrous edge; wet iron, smoked meat and crushed rock.

PALATE
Dark fruits glide across the palate, held in place by fine, graphite-like tannins and a line of bright maritime acidity. There’s less gloss than in sunnier years, but far more precision, nerve and detail. The finish is long and gently smoky with a saline edge — a storm-season Syrah of tension, precision and quiet confidence.

Man O’ War is located at the eastern end of Waiheke Island, New Zealand, upon which is a stunning array of coastal hillsides with high cliffs and pristine beaches forming a ruggedly beautiful coastline. Today, Man O’ War consists of 150 acres of vines planted in 76 individual hillside blocks, each with a distinct soil profile and microclimate. Every single block bears the footprints, and sometimes the names, of those who transformed Man O’ War’s rugged hillsides into a spectacular patchwork of vines. Each block has been meticulously designed with different rootstocks, clones and planting densities to best match the specific terroir on offer.
